WARNINGS
Incorrectly fitted chains may
cause damage to your vehicle.
Snow chains may only be fitted to
215/60R16 tyres.
Do not fit snow chains to an axle
where a temporary spare is fitted.
Deep water
Do not drive through flooded areas
unless you are sure that the water is
below the bottom of the wheel rims.
If you must drive through water, drive
slowly. You may have limited traction
or wet brakes, so allow extra stopping
distance because your vehicle will not
stop as quickly as usual.
After you drive through the standing
water, apply your brakes gently several
times as your vehicle moves slowly. This
helps to dry the brakes.
Power steering
CAUTION
If, when turning the vehicle, it is
necessary to hold the steering
wheel against the turn stops,
allow the wheel to return slightly from
this maximum position to avoid possible
damage to the power steering pump.
Driving hints
“Fail Safe” cooling system
(4.0L DOHC DI-VCT I6 and 4.0L
DOHC DI-VCT Turbo I6)
Your vehicle features a ’Fail Safe’ Cooling
System which prevents engine damage
if the cooling system fails unexpectedly.
Note: This feature is standard on six
cylinder petrol engines only.
The vehicle will sense the engine
overheating and automatically begin
shutting down cylinders. This allows you
to continue driving until it is safe to pull
over.
The vehicle’s operation may be limited
when the “Fail Safe” Cooling System
is engaged. If the engine temperature
warning indicators are activated, the “Fail
Safe” Cooling System may engage. A
drop in vehicle speed and performance
indicate the system is operating.
If the vehicle is operated in extreme
conditions or a high load situation, for
extended periods in “Fail Safe” cooling
mode the engine temperature warning
light will flash and the audible warning will
become continuous. This means that
the Fail Safe system is unable to keep
the engine cool enough to continue
operation without being damaged. The
engine will shut down after 15 seconds.
The “Fail Safe” cooling system is not
available on E-Gas vehicles.
WARNING
Do not use the “Fail Safe” cooling
system to drive for extended
periods. Drive your vehicle to a safe
location and have the source of the
problem determined as soon as
possible.
